gun fire. a bill in congress could mean prison time for leaders in jurisdictions with sanctuary policies. >> just the idea of it is ridiculous. >> the bill is named after oakland mayor libby schaaf. she warned about plans for widespread federal ice raids. republican congressmen steve king introduced a bill that could send officials to prison if they make a similar warning. the congressman said that how many rabid, violent ms13 animals do mayors allow to prey on citizens when they obstruct ice rides in to many? >> i can tell you that i know a lot more about what makes my community safe than a congress member from iowa. >> reporter: the mayor said bullies in washington are trying to intimidate her over policies she insists are making oakland safer. polls show people across the

country, even here in the bay area are divided over the issue. >> some immigrants do cause crimes. we know that most don't and if fact their crime rate is lower than nonmany grant community but there are people who believe they do commit crimes and they see you as a person protecting criminals. >> i want this country to have the conversation that is needed about the immigration system. the fact is that communities that are seeing increases in their immigrant populations actually are becoming safer. this system is not working. it's ripping families apart and it's endangering our economy. >> she chose to put the safety of a small number of criminals being targeted by the federal authorities over the safety of law abiding residents. >> reporter: the mayor put federal agents and the public in harms way. >> she put people in a lot of

danger. when criminals know the police are coming they have time to flee, involve others in their crimes. people who were wanted for crimes including drug dealing, sex trafficking and domestic violence weren't arrested. >> the libby schaaf act calls for a prison sentence of five- years. it's not clear if it'll pass in congress. video from hawaii this morning. you can see a mountain of red, hot lava spewing hundreds of feet into the air. this was shot just before 11. some 20fissures have opened up. rivers of the lava have flowed three miles in to the ocean where it's creating a dangerous mix of lava and haze and toxic gas. >> reporter: when the lava hits the ocean it creates a hazard,

all that hot steam and acid which is poisonous and burns on contact. we don't want to get closer. the wind could shift at any time. >> and check out this wall of lava about 30 feet high. its crossed a main highway. the big island has reported 3,000volcano earthquakes. he with have weather and traffic. netta is live on top of the sales force tower as they have their grand opening. >> reporter: good morning. i promise i did my hair but that got ruined fast. we are in a cloud. there's plenty of condensation. we are in a cloud. over a thousand feet. the very top here. that would be the highest point west of the mississippi. we have the access to the top of sales force tower. they have a grand opening

up through oakland. concord 14 miles an hour and fairfield, sustained winds at 21 miles an hour. gustier across the hills throughout fairfield and antioch. then temperature wise we are in the 50s for most locations because of that cloud cover serving as a blanket. we have four different cameras up here on top of the tower. because of the clouds, not necessarily able to see all of the city lights but as we get closer to the daylight and a lot of this will burn off we will give you good access to the views around the bay area. back to you. we are building the anticipation. you may have to use your windshield wipers on your way into work. i had too. i had some mist on the windshield. if you are heading out the door and are going through palo alto we are tracking a full highway closure in the northbound direction of 101. that begins at university. all traffic diverted off at university. you are then allowed to use that frontage road and can get

back on it the freeway going northbound at willow road. cal tran is out there. they are expected to wrap up by five this morning. we are seeing speeds dip below 30 miles an hour approaching the scene there. do expect delays and give yourself extra time as you are hitting the roadways this morning. that's a check of your traffic. time now is 4:39. a program in san francisco providing a stable living environment for people with severe mental illness. why that help is about to disappear. >> this mural is a bold statement saying that we value immigrants. >> immigrants in america are at risk and they have our back. use your vote for immigrants.

enough to up root anyone from their living environment. you take a patient with mental illness or mental health problems and they are fragile. >> reporter: he has been working with patients for 42 years. >> many may not want to take their medicine and require much more work and much more help. i have seen it happen. >> i think it's sad. i don't know if i would call it a crisis. >> reporter: kelly oversees the placement of patients with mental health patients. >> we have been able to rehouse everybody so far. >> reporter: she said they only take in the highest functioning mental health clients. they would need more acute patients to qualify for more moneys. >> you can increase rates and then that decreases the number

of beds. >> reporter: keprthe model may soon be a thing of the past. >> it'll be much larger facilities with a different kind of feel. they are still home like but not the same as walking in to a six bed house. >> reporter: steven said he sees that as a step backwards to the days when san francisco residents with mental illnesses were warehoused at the hospital. >> it's not a good thing. >> reporter: though the department of health has a legal obligation to find new homes for displaced clients he said that many will opt out. >> there is a good number of patients that will just fall through the cracks and end up on the streets. >> reporter: kelly said for some shutting down the care facilities and selling their homes has becoma all become all to tempting but aurora doesn't want to do that. >> if there is anything we should be doing it's having

them stabilized. give them a home. good homes which, you know, was my goal. to make a difference in their life. >> reporter: they hope the city can do something that will allow them to stay right where they are. >> i will sleep under the freeway. >> you just can't -- just ignore us. >> reporter: in san francisco. kpix5. >> and the city said that it plans to start outreach to encourage more homeowners to run care facilities for mentally ill people but it won't offer extra financial incentives. we are going to get a check on weather and that is with netta on top of the sales force tower this morning which is pretty exciting. we are so glad you aren't afraid of heights. >> reporter: it's hard to hear

you, sorry. having ear piece efforts. we are on the top of the tower. the bar that you see at the top here. that's over a thousand feet up. that makes us the tallest building here in northern california and west of the mississippi river. we have cameras set up to give you a look. we are the only station allowed at the very top. we are very excited to be here and we are in a cloud right now. that is why there's a lot of condensation. it's misty. this area has its own micro climate. they get rain when people on the streets don't. they get stronger winds when it's calmer on the streets as well. it even gets warmer up here as well because of that warm air rising and it just hangs in the crown at the very top. this -- the building has 61 business stories. office space here for 61 stories high. then another few stories and then more that brings up to the

activity by the tend of this week. we will talk more about your forecast and these cameras up here up later on. >> sounds good. thank you. right now we are tracking some slow downs. you will see a lot of brake lights on your way into work this morning along northbound 101 because there's a full closure and that starts at university. it goes until willow. all traffic diverted off at university. then you can take east bayshore road. that frontage road and you can take that to willow and get back onto northbound 101. the back up is stretching beyond oregon expressway. just a heads up. this will cost you some time. you do need to leave a little early this morning. we are seeing speeds dip as slow as five miles an hour just approaching the scene of that road work. cal trans should be wrapped with that by five. this is 580 as you approach there. we have a wind advisory in effect for drivers heading
